In going through a recent book publishing effort, I came to this realization: When you submit for publication, but don't get your layout picked up, it is not necessarily because they "didn't like it". What I noticed repeatedly happening in the choosing process was that layouts we DID like didn't make the cut due to things like, page space, too many of that particular theme already, maybe we'd seen too much of a particular paper line already, and so on. It was numerous things. But what I learned from that was; Don't let it discourage you. Keep submitting, and your work WILL get picked up. It just has to hit the right person at the right time for the right article/subject/book.
What an interesting industry this is!

About My Digital Kits
- scrapoflife
- Just some notes about my digital work. I create all my kits at 300dpi, the industry print standard, so that you will never have problems with pixelated images when submitting for publication. All papers are 12x12 unless otherwise noted, and are heavily layered for depth and texture. I put a lot of time and care into all of my digital elements, and am sure you will find them of the highest quality. I do enjoy the grungier style papers, so that is often what you will find in my kits. Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy the freebies, as well as the kits for sale.
